Charger Tips: Asking for a charger from others can be costly! Find out why..

Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives. But asking others for a charger can be extremely dangerous for your phone. Ethical hacker Ryan Montgomery revealed that some charging cables contain hidden hacking devices. These cables may appear normal, but they can hack your device.

Hackers create advanced cables that transfer data while charging. Once connected to your phone or laptop, they gain access to your passwords, bank details, photos, and chats. Experts recommend using a USB data blocker. This device stops data transfer during charging.

The FBI has warned that free charging ports at places like airports, hotels, and malls could be vulnerable to juice jacking. This could allow hackers to inject malware into your phone or steal data.
